Hi, 

Can someone confirm that the attached coin is Mahmud Ghazni and that the languages on either side are Arabic and Sharada Sanskrit? Sorry I don't own it so cant provide weight etc.

Glad it was useless to you, I was going to post the full attribution with transliteration/transcription which is nowhere to be found but not going to…

Many thanks to everyone who provided clarity. I hope the emotions are now in check, for those who might find it difficult to help someone new to collecting :)
